Ruthless Empire

Royal Elite, Book 6

By: Rina Kent

Narrated by: Shane East, Keira Stevens

She’s off-limits. He has none.

There’s a girl. Beautiful. Popular. Fake. And my obsession. My fall. Probably my damnation.

Did that stop me? Do I care? No and no. There’s a line between right and wrong. Moral and immoral. And then there’s her. I cross every limit with blood-coated fingers. She says she hates me. I say I hate her too as I trap her, own her. Make her all mine.

Ruthless Empire is part of Royal Elite series but can be listened to on its own. For a better understanding of the world, you might want to listen to the previous titles first. This is a mature new-adult audiobook and contains situations that some listeners might find offensive.

UGH. YOU GUYS. I actually forgot how bad this book broke me. And I JUST recently read it. THANKS FOR THAT.
AMAZING NARRATION.
INCREDIBLE STORY TELLING.
SUPERB SERIES. I never want it to end.

Best book of series

This is my favorite book of this series. Silver and Cole were amazing and I understood Silver more and her actions better in this book than we got in the other books. I can't wait to see what is next for all the couples in the series.

4.5 Stars!

She’s off limits. He has none. Popular girl Silver has everything, or at least everyone thinks she does. Cole has a black heart and will do anything to claim Silver as his, even if she is becoming his step-sister. Silver doesn’t want Cole to invade her heart but unbeknownst to her, he’s claimed her heart ever since the day they met.

Cole and Silver are the most possessive couple I’ve ever read about. I unashamedly ate it up. I loved their banter and their relationship so much. I hate everything that both of them went through to finally get their happily ever after. The plot twist at the end was a very good one that I didn’t see coming! It was a thrilling ride reading about the doll master!

The narration was good. The British accents was something to get used to.

Twisted and lovely

These relationships in this series are so broken but beautiful. I really enjoy how this last book walks you through the series. You get glimpses of how the other relationship transpired but also the impact of Silver and Cole. As the story went I was kind of annoyed with Silver bc she always put her parents first and an image. She says her dad is understanding and what not but then never brought anything to him. I ended up speeding the last 2 hours bc it was just kind of going on without any resolution. But then that last 45 minutes!! Wow. I loved the second epilogue where they are together with their kids and Rina left a tasty morsel of Eli and Ava, which God of War just came out. I’m definitely going to listen to the epilogue with all of them bc I am interested in if the other kids are mentioned and having read Legacy of Gods it would be neat to see their baby origins lol. The narration has been absolutely marvelous. Shane and and Kierra just get into their characters so well and Shane does dark and twisted so well. His whispers and grit just drive home the darkness in these boys/men.

twisted say what?!

Rina you are the queen of plot twists. I did not see this one coming and I love you so much for that. I need more and I see why everyone loves this verse so much

The best

The series is absolutely the best. I recommend reading them all. Don’t wait start it today

What a twist!

Ok, I have been super curious throughout this series as to exactly what kind of stuff Cole was into. The kind of man he is. I loved how they started with them as kids and moved into the present. different from the flashbacks of the previous books. We also got to see older scenes through new eyes and perspectives. Her mom drove me nuts! I wasn't thrilled with Cole going off with another woman and her finding them. He acted like that was just fine. not cool.

Hot

Okay love love love that the voices are woven together and each speaks their own part! Shane's voice is like rumbling velvet and Keira's voice is like a spark of fresh interest! I absolutely love the "huh" and "hmmm" that you can freeking hear and the emotional depth is just... wow. I kept wondering about Cole and I even left his story until after I heard Jonathan's story. OMG, it explains a good bit! I was a little disappointed at how long we stay in Cole and Silva's younger years, but it does add a bit. I could have seen this as a duet with the twist at the end that could have been drawn out. I absolutely have fallen in love with the voice actors and the writer!

A story of firsts

These duet voice actors never cease to amaze. I have been listening to the Royal Elite story since Deviant King, and even now listening to this story I’m amazed that I actually feel as if I’m listening to characters specific to this story. The voice actors managed to render the personalities of Cole and Silver perfectly, the quiet scholarly alpha Cole and the superficially confident Silver. Again, a listening adventure as the voice actors flawlessly perform a range of tones and inflections and a diversity of characters.

This story follows the blossoming love story starting with a childhood friendship and silent respect to their slightly taboo young adulthood relationship. Aside from Deviant King’s Elsa and Aiden, this couple was my favorite in the Royal Elite series. Overall this story was one of the most steamy and captivating and had a delightful little twist characteristic Rina Kent’s books.

Excellent performance, great story.

It’s a duet!

Great story and loved the twist at the end. Definitely not the person I thought. The narrators are great. Love listening to them.
